too much $ for a Chi-Swiss 1st offering imo...this is the guy who had "Made in Swiss" on the caseback until he was called on it...I was contacted by Tempest back in Oct.2010 ...my advice was come back when you have a watch...it's now July and the watch is still not going to be done until the end of the year?..too many if's and maybes,like that top grade eta which he doesn't know if he can contract yet...wait until they start hitting the sales forums for a better deal if you must.
...that complete ground up design is using a crown guard with strange similarities to Seans new crown guard on the 100% Asian MoVas...
All good points Oscar...
He has confirmed (on another forum) that he will indeed be sourcing the Top Grade version of the movement.
My head says to wait and see what the final product quality looks like, and like you said...being patient and waiting for them to show up on the sales forums would be the most economical approach...
...my emotion is getting in the way of my head, however, as I really like the design/design elements/material set with this one and the more I look a good quality pics of even the prototype, the more I'm impressed with how good the case machining looks...
